actually getting a Camaro in real time - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

It's nearly October, the Camaro is in full tilt production, the factory (GM) knows it sells and the demand is high, why aren't these cars on the lot for sale ?
My dealer, who has sold and delivered 12 so far, has only been able to get pre ordered cars. None allocated for his lot and none in the near future.
It makes no sense that a product this popular wouldn't be on the market.
If you go back to March, this complaint was down played as customers being too impatient. It's 6 months later and still it's a limited production model.

Around Chicagoland, every dealer I drive by has anywhere from 3 to 8 Camaro's sitting on there lot. One I drove by yesterday has a Transformer model sitting out front.

We sell the LT's about as fast as they come in the SS models can sit for a while in fact we took supplier price on our last one. I have seen several at dealer lots in my area. The dealers in most cases that have them sitting on the lot have a reason alot of them are asking still over sticker. They are getting to be fewer of those dealers. We get a Camaro placed at the rate of 1 per month and we are a small dealer.
